A tribute to Senator Edward M. Kennedy

Edward "Ted" Kennedy was a long time and well respected Senator from Massachusetts. Kennedy first entered the U.S. Senate
in 1962 when he won a special election to fill the vacant Senate seat of his brother—John F. Kennedy—who had resigned the seat
in 1960 to become President of the U.S. In 1964 Ted Kennedy was elected by the voters of Massachusetts to his own term in the U.S. Senate.
Since then Kennedy was reelected seven more times and served until his death in 2009. During Kennedy's long and industrious career in the U.S. Senate he championed many causes—a few of which
are highlighed in this selection of documents from the official records of the United States Senate.
